Gentaro (Shoji Ishibashi), agent for Professor Tsushima, and his klutzy colleague  Goro (Mitsuo Hamada) - who unbeknowest to Gentaro is really the giant robot Iron King -, decide to search for the underground fortress of the Phantom Militia, when they are once again attacked by giant robot Tongasaurus, who since having been destroyed in the last episode has developed the ability to detach its head from its body and shoot projectiles from its neck while traing to bite its enemy with its floating head. Gentaro and Iron King do their best to fight off Tongasaurus, but ultimately it's last episode's Reiko, who appears on the scene and recognizes the Phantom Militia suad's leader Uzuki as her husband who manages to chase the Militia and Tongasaurus away.

It soon becomes clear that Reiko and Gentaro are in love with each other, but still she decides to follow hubby Uzuki, even if he asks her to kill Gentaro ... which ultimately she cannot do, instead she even gives the location of the underground fortress away to Gentaro, while the Phantom Militia once again send their giant robot Tongasaurus to attack. And while Iron King engages in battle with Tongasaurus, Gentaro blows up the fortress - and Uzuki with it.

In the end, Gentaro breaks Reiko's heart when he tells her he never loved her - just to keep her out of harm's way regarding his mission to destroy the Phantom Militia.

 

Tongasaurus was so wacky a monster it just deserved to get a second chance - and even in its second appearance, the robot-dinosaur does not disappoint: The idea of the floating head and the neck shooting projectiles is nothing short of ingenious (in a silly, childish sort of way). You just have to love this episode for that alone !!! The rest of the show is of course business as usual, but Tongasaurus: OH YESSS !!!
